Antidepressants are a class of drugs used to treat various mood disorders including depression. These medications help stabilize a person's brain chemicals to improve mood. It's important to meet with your doctor, carefully evaluate your circumstances, and put together a plan that safely allows you to decrease your antidepressant dosage over several weeks or months. Because these drugs affect different chemicals in your brain, you may experience physical and emotional symptoms when the medication is discontinued. It is necessary and important that you consult your doctor so he/she can plan a specified taper schedule for you and can discuss any withdrawal symptoms that you may experience after the discontinuation of the medication. Further, you can also contact us to seek counseling to deal with your problem.
